Mercantour National Park

The Mercantour National Park, the 6th of the 10 national parks in France, owes this prestigious status to its biological, landscape and cultural riches, particularly in relation to flora. Privileged by a unique geographical situation, this territory mounts up exceptions and contrasts. In 2010, the international year of biodiversity, the Mercantour National Park and its Italian twin, the Maritime Alps Park, celebrate their 30th birthday.
